Elk

This eld calf was wandering around the meadow full of mammas and babies looking for his mother. It appeared that this cow elk was letting him know she was NOT his mamma. This photo was taken along the Madison River in Yellowstone National Park.

This bull elk was exhibiting rut behavoir, rubbing his antlers on whatever is handy -- trees, brush, mud, etc. and bugeling to warn off rivals for his harem. Photo taken in Yellowstone National Park just outside of Gardiner, Montana.
